We need your help.....
Dear Friends,
It’s been a fair old while since you were emailed by BVCG.
We are cranking up the old system because… well because the Council are cranking up an old attack on your Recreation Reserve. Justine is attaching a copy of the submission I have just lodged on behalf of BVCG, which explains what has happened in the two years in between, and how Council have been knocked back in their daft intention to create tourist development in the upper Brook Valley. They persist, you know, despite the Environment Court advising them that what they had done was unlawful. Have a look at the last Council meeting on live stream video.
We would like everyone to make a submission in response to recent public notices, in part objecting to their not having called for objections in the Public Notices, as they are obliged to do. They try to be sneaky, you see, cut corners, and it never works, not so you would notice.
Just email submissions@ncc.govt.nz and say you want to be heard at the Hearing on November 1st. Tell them you want your Recreation Reserve back, thank you. Tell them you are not happy with their Draft Plan and want them to revisit it. Tell them it is blazingly obvious that the Sanctuary is a still dying duck, probably from brodifacoum, and that you are well aware that the commercial support that was supposed to be coming available to them from NMIT, DOC, and the bloody Gondola has all vanished. What remains is a permanent drain on ratepayers to watch slip after slip taking place, just as we told them it would. Their Vision 2 was a group hallucination. Time for reality. Leave the upper Brook alone! Better, protect it!
Anyway, all the best in your real lives. Do this for us, please. We have the backing of the Nelson Residents Association, who are making their submission alongside ours.
Yours,
Christopher St Johanser
Chair
BVCG.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️
Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.
We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
